Match Preview;
Stoke are unbeaten in their last three, having won two then drawn one so far in November. Their last league defeat was a 2-0 loss to Sheffied United on October 26th. Otherwise, in October they drew their other three games after thrashing Pompey 6-1. They sit 13th in the table, on 19 points. Their manager is 36 year old Narcís Pèlach, who had a playing career in Spain, before moving to England to coach under Carlos Corberan at Huddersfield, and had two short spells as interim manager, managing only two games, before moving to manage Stoke. So far they have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 4 under his tenure.

As for us, I'm desperately hoping the international break came at the right time, and we had enough time to sort ourselves out. Since the beginning of October, we've lost 5 and drawn 3...a run which now sees us sit rock bottom of the Championship, on 10 points, at least 5 points from safety. Some will blame injuries, others the way we are set up, and others the players not putting in enough effort. From what I have watched, it is probably a mixture of all of those reasons, and many more...but unless it is sorted and we see a massive improvement before Christmas, it'll begin to be hard to see how we get out of this mess.

Team news and manager comments to go up when on the official, enjoy if you are making it to HQ on Saturday, and as always...

...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

Cheers Dave that’s a nice photo, new angle.

Weather forecast a lot milder than at the moment but very wet as well.

Game notable chiefly for the return of WBA2QPR3 to Shepherds Bush. Other than a welcoming pint or two with him I have no expectations from this game whatsoever.

Nice one Dave

Yep, my first game back at HQ since Blackburn April 2019

I'm hearing lots of snow back in the UK, hopefully the match will not be postponed

Looking forward to a few pints and a win

I could be the lucky charm or a total Jonah

Just loads of rain forecast for Shebu on Saturday and clear but cold on Friday. Enjoy the pre-match bit anyway.

Good to know albeit terrifying. Glad we’ve given up on the laughable strategy of not letting anyone know our injury news on the off chance the opposition were building all week to counter the threat of Harrison Ashby only to find he’s not playing.
